I was asked to help teach our younger group of Activity Day girls some cupcake decorating techniques. It's not that I am even that good, but I do know a couple of tricks to make cupcakes look pretty darn yummy. (I've made it through my share of YW Cupcake Sundays...)
I was totally impressed that this group of 8 and 9-year-olds could do such an amazing job.
The leaders also threw them a Happy Birthday party -- to celebrate all of their birthdays.
And we only had what, 17 girls there? Have I mentioned that our ward is HUGE?
I think I will have Mauri decorate the cupcakes at our house from now on.
And on my way out the door to help with the activity, I got a call from Lex.
She was at a friend's house, it was time for Mutual, and her car (well, not her car... but the car she drives... just want to clarify) wouldn't start. Sorry, I told her, no help here. I had places to be and things to do. Heartless, I know.
She recruited some assistance (her friend's helpful neighbors)...
...and they still couldn't get it started. Lex found a way to get to her activity, though, and I called Bill (on his way home) on my way out. Miraculously, when I arrived home later that evening, Lex's car (well, not Lex's car) was parked neatly in the garage. How, I asked Bill, did he get two cars home? Apparently the car didn't end up there miraculously after all. He had made several trips up and down the hill from our house to the friend's house. The final trip down he rode his bike. Husbands are awesome, aren't they?
Those cupcakes look yummy. I love making cupcakes. How did you get your name on the bottom of your post, i've seen that I can't figure out how to do it.
ReplyDeleteMindy,
ReplyDeleteI just googled "free blog signature" and found a site that you can make one on in under 2 minutes. I selected the signature, then copied the code into a word document so I could access it. Then, when you are done with your post, you click the "edit HTML" at the top of the post and add the signature code to the bottom. I'm sure there's a simpler way, but until I figure that out, it works for me. Although sometimes I forget to add it :) Hope that helps!
Wow...you ward is hudge! We were excitted to have 12 Beehives! Although there is only 1 Miamaid...my daughter! I love the fact that most of your posts always have a possitive spin on them. One of the greatest attributes you have always shown! Maybe someday we will see eachother again.
ReplyDeleteWow... you really need to teach me sometime!!! I have got to be able to do better than I do now!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tina, i'm going to see if I can figure it out.
